Birth of the Great Shepherd. Part-Three.

Uncaring Humanity.

Christmas does not end with the birth of the baby Jesus, after all the commercial build up to this one special day of food, family, presents, arguments, lonliness, suicide and adultry?

People had to flee Bethlehem, after the birth and the visit of the Magi because mad King Herod was out to get rid of this child. In fact we see this everyday in the world, people keep rejecting the good news message of Jesus, with all sorts of excuses.

Herod was not the first, he is not the last and there will be more of the same to come. Pharoah of Egypt, the Turkish-Armenian genocide, the Crusades, Adolf Hitler, Phol Pot, Burundi-Rwanda.

Even this week there has been mass murders and another Burundi crisis is fermenting as humanity condems Paris and forgets about the rest of the world.

Matthew 2:1-8,  12-18,  Isaiah 59:7,  Jeremiah 31:15,  Acts 8:1.
